I am very honoured to have been chosen in the recent DT call and what a warm welcome I received from Sara and her lovely team!

Onto this weeks challenge and the theme is Use A Sentiment, easy huh!

The sponsors this time around is one of my favourite shops, The Ribbon Girl, you are in with a chance to win a wonderful prize!

In January I asked the lovely Norma (from my craft room) if she would kindly make a tutorial for her beautiful roses and true to her word she created not one,but two for me! I was thrilled to bits and here is my version of her gorgeous roses.Finally, I got them done Norma!!! Thank you so, so much!

I've used stop in the name of love Tilda and coloured her with Copics.

These roses started off life as grey card, I used three different liquid chalks, one silver and two reds to create the colour way and I did the same with the grey card around the sentiment and the card border too.

My papers are Pion and Maja Design, both available at Live and Love Crafts.

We are all looking forward to seeing your beautiful creations @ LHOSM, show some love and pop over to see the teams gorgeous cards from my fellow teamies!!!

Wow what lovely summery weather we are having here today in England, warm and sunny! Perfect to introduce my masked summer background card!

I had this design in my head for a while and its a fairly simple design, I used the three panels a three inch fold behind the first panel, so the two side panels are set back and the front panel is brought forward, I hope that makes sense?

I used Tilda with Rose Basket and Summer hill background!

I have coloured the whole image with Copics and created some little bunting with my whimsy dies!

Both Papers are Pion: mothers day flowers and grandmas note book!

The large rose are of course Wild Orchid Crafts!

Well, I have just had my first physio session for my leg and I am a bit achy, so I am planning on sitting in my garden enjoying the sunshine, the birds and blogging on my laptop!!!

Thanks for stopping by today and enjoy the sunshine, where ever you are!

I have enjoyed my time with this fab blog and to be in with a chance of a GDT spot yourself and/or winning a wonderful prize, all you have to do is show us your beautiful creations.

This fortnight the theme is Festive (with a twist) this means it can be any special occasion, Birthday, Anniversary, New Baby, Easter, engagement, wedding the list is endless!

I have chosen birthday, using devine Tilda, as my focal point, as she is one of my favourites.

I have used a Noor Design Template to create the shape, it is from the UK Noor Design Shop and each layer is hand cut. I haven't used a template before and it was actually surprisingly easy to use! The paper is the same brand too!

Step Cards

I have been making these step cards since around 2009/10 and find them to be very eye catching and unusual in design. My family were all thrilled with their Christmas step cards, so I thought I would share the two that I have made recently. One is a male theme Edwin Card and the Other is from the Magnolia 2013 Summer Memories Range! Thanks For droping Bye. Cuddles Jay x
